Herb was a spender. Not an investor.

We need the ppl from the old movie fat camp. I hate being rude about others, but Bert was huge. He was lax, and it rubbed off on the program.

I don't have any doubt that conditioning wont improve with the new staff. This kids will be mean next spring and fast.

It's just crazy he gained so much while running a division one program. How much did he gain? Triple digits? That takes a ridiculous amount of sitting on your arse and gorging yourself without maybe some major underlying problem.

Honestly, I don't get the major weight gain either, particularly in such a short amount of time, being as young as he is, being a HC of a sports team at a major university with state-of-the-art equipment/trainers/etc, plus plenty of money to have a fricking live-in chef if he wanted. And before it starts with the 'fat shaming' crap & I'm just being a shallow bitch, I'm not even referring to appearance or vanity really at all. I absolutely agree that for him to gain close to 100lbs right in front of his players, it really sends a message that evidently the coach isn't very serious about conditioning, health, etc. or being in good competitive shape, so the guys don't really need to be concerned about it either. I understand people commonly stress eat/drink & can gain a few pounds when under pressure, but it seems this went a bit beyond that, & really doesn't set a great example for the players. Anyway, hopefully, he'll be successful in dropping the weight, especially since now he has a kid who I'm sure he wants to be healthy for. ... And hopefully, Coach M & his people will be much more stringent & strict about conditioning.

As Spurrier always said when asked why he was on the treadmill so much... "How can you as the Head coach tell these guys to run all those laps and sprints and stay in shape if you're not in shape yourself?"

There's a man who has put on a hundred pounds in under five years, and has the look and sound of someone whose been wrung out like a dish towel. His, the players, and fans' dreams alike, broken because we all believed in the wrong thing. Is there any one person who can look at that and truly believe this job wouldn't have literally been the death of him within another five years if he got to stay that long? 50 years old with a wife and small child is a shitty way to die.

Yeah, he's gonna be alright. He'll never have to work again. If only we could all be so fortunate. There are human enotions at play for everyone, though. It's not wrong to acknowledge that and wish it could be different.

Putting on a lot of weight when you are younger is fine. When I was a kid I could not put on weight to save my life. I had the metabolism of a shrew evidently and barely, just barely, made it into the military for height and weight requirements (I was actually too tall by about 6 inches but the folks at the MEPS told me to slouch and measured me again to sneak me in).

Then, when I turned 24, my body decided... welp I can take it easy now and I gained forty pounds in a year. Over the next two or so years I gained a total of about a hundred pounds, more or less what I weigh right now 20 years later. Its not a bad weight for my height.

That is one thing, and from what I understand it isn't uncommon, especially for young tall people, its another to put on that much weight, that quickly, when you are middle aged. Bielema was in his 40s when he put on a hundred pounds or more of weight.

You have to wonder if all that extra weight sapped his energy.

I can relate and I'm short. I was always short and stocky. I loved smacking ppl in football getting low and using my speed. However I could never gain any weight.

Joined the military (06) and ran 18 min 3 miles. I fell off a helicopter in a training accident (07) had surgeries and continued to push. Run times started getting slower around (09) to 21-22 mins.

Went recruiting and being stuck in a gov vehicle and working 100 hrs a week killed me. Energy drinks and constant fast food packed on weight. Run times went up to 25 mins. At the end of recruiting I avgd 30 lb gain over 3 years. While doing this still ran with kids and passed all PFT's.

Finished recruiting and PCS'd. PFT was coming up. Started shredding weight and ran my PFT. I got 26:50 mins and barely passed (14). I was in so much pain and was over the years. Went in and was told they didn't know how I was able to run with X-Rays. This was the end of my career.

Est 135 lbs in 06, I have been up to 195 the last year. It sucks arse. I don't look fat per say just a stocky short dude. Always get asked if I was a wrestler.

I posted on here for help with my homework for being sick. I was probably 185 2 weeks ago. Had first side of wisdom teeth removed last week and I weighed myself yesterday and I'm down to 168.

Moral of the story, stay away from soda and mcdoubles. Lol oh yeah don't age either.

I feel you sulli

Nothing quite like the excruciating pain in my mouth diet is there? I dropped about 15 pounds after I had oral surgery a few years ago. An effective diet plan but not one that I endorse.

You are big in heart Piggi

I am 6'6", well, probably closer to 6'5 and 3/4 now.

Which is a horrible height. Not quite tall enough that if you are uncoordinated you can still get a basketball scholarship, but just tall enough that doorways and low hanging objects are a constant concussion threat.

Yep my surgeries in life keep me non-bert status. I do plan on changing my diet and cutting back on soda. I've never appreciated mash potatoes with soup over it so much in my life. So good lol. I did eat a cheeseburger the other day for the first time in a month and that tore my stomach up like no other.

Next 2 teeth come out next week on the 20th.

And O-T: finished my paper and turned it in. When I showed up my teacher asked what I was doing there. I told him I busted my arse and it's an A+.

He proceeded to tell me that it isn't based on effort. He gave me a 75 lmao. I then proceeded to tell the VP of the school thanks for giving me excused absences. While I was in his office he looked at my paper and told me he doesn't agree with the grade, but can't tell an instructor what to do. I told him how fricked the humanities department is and he told the teacher to pass me with current grade. 71.

Then he walked me over to student services to get my speech credits given to me from time as a recruiter because I got dropped last semester for missing 2 days sick. He also reviewed my transcript and gave me 6 credits and he wrote a statement to remove the Withdrawal from my transcript.

I imagine that is annoying. I’m like normal short so petite/short are almost high waters but regular is long. Ain’t nobody got it easy I guess.

P.S. Just how is the weather up there? :P

You will get some stinkers as professors.

Most of them are understanding. My inner ear problem first hit while I was at the U of A and I kid you not that I missed something like 75% of my classes that semester. Including one class where the vertigo hit in class and my professor had to help me into the head of the department's office where I proceeded to spend an hour throwing up in the poor guy's waste paper basket. And yes, it was the office of the gent running my major's department.

But every professor that semester let me make up missed work. I would have flunked the entire semester, and all the classes were in my major that semester, if they hadn't worked to help me through that.
